depends your washing habits and hair texture. obviously if it's happening with loads of products it's because of your hair and not them.
shampoo isn't even meant to make your hair look nice, it strips your natural oils, it's the conditioner that replaces them. too much shampooing makes your hair unmanageable, too much conditioner weighs it down. can't really recommend anything without knowing why it looks bad, how often you wash/heat style & your natural texture. tell me what it is and i can probably help better...



although i'd say you can't go wrong with a few leave in conditioners and hair masks. i use natural hair shampoo without sulphates and parabens and noticed a huge difference. i definitely suggest l'oreal elvive nutri-gloss leave in conditioner, has loads of protein in it which is necessary for hair considering it's what most your hair is made up of. the less i put on my hair the better it looks. o.o

I normally wash it once a day
Heat well like medium if that makes sense. (Warm/Hot)
Natural texture ? Do u mean colour?
Its brown and was like always soft and always went where i wanted it to go.

Make sure you use shampoo and conditioner. The conditioner takes out the PH of the shampoo. Also be soft on your hair! Massage it gently and make sure you arnt scratching your scalp harshly (a little is ok to rid the grease & oil)

It sound like your hair looks nice when wet and not so good when it's dry? Try using hairspray or some other hair products that hydrate the hair

texture - is it straight, wavy or curly without any blowdrying/straightening? it really makes a difference for how you should handle it.
heat - obviously very damaging even with heat protectant. same as colouring your hair so i'd say cut back but that's probably hard for most people ;p

as for washing it every day, DON'T. think bout it, shampoo wasn't made until 1930s and even then people only washed once a week. generally straight hair needs washed every 2-3 days, wavy just whenever but curly hair can get away with even less. personally i wash mine with shampoo 2ce a week (even with natural shampoos it looks like crap the first day ;[, i'd wash less but i just feel like i NEED to wheni don't :/) my hairdresser washes her once a week. anyyyway, could be the reason, you still didn't really specify what makes it looks so crap? frizzy hair/greasy etc? if it's just the lengths of your hair, get a trim, could be split ends. but yeah i prefer natural hair products so i don't get buildup or too dry hair. may sound disgusting but invest in a dry shampoo and cut back to every other day. even google it, it's really not too good to wash everyday lol. plus you can keep your hairstyle for longer, no need to blowdry n restyle, obv still wash yourself still just put a shower cap on.


lol so yeah, texture of hair and what it is that makes it look bad would help


@above hairspray doesn't hydrate, it has alcohol = really harsh. also stops moisture getting into hair (which is why it's *ONLY* good when keeping a style. sorry to preach i like being all natural... well mostly ;p
